Joaquin P.L.G. Cook, Bank of Guam president and chief executive officer stated, “We have been regularly reviewing evolving Covid-19 events in our region, with our employees, customers and our community at the forefront of our priorities. More than ever, protecting our community is critical. The decision was very difficult and not taken lightly. Our decision to limit Guam Branch openings to a single one in Hagåtña helps achieve our goal to slow the spread of Covid-19 and still provide needed services.”

He went on to say, “Everyone must make a concerted effort to remain at home to strengthen social distancing and prevent the spread of Covid-19. Only as a community committed to the solidarity of this action can we protect ourselves, each other and our people.”
